In 2001 females made up 51.4% of Poland's total population while males accounted for 48.6%, so for every hundred men there were 106 women. In 1946, that is immediately after the Second World War, the latter figure was 118.
61.8% of Poles live in towns and 38.2% live in rural areas, which means that for every hundred rural residents there are 162 urban residents. In both urban and rural populations there are more females than males, although this disproportion is bigger in towns. Women account for 52.3% of the urban population and men for 47.7% (which is equivalent to 110 women for every 100 men). In the rural population, 50.1% are women and 49.9% are men (100.4 women for every 100 men). Urban women constitute 32.3% of Poland's total population; rural women - 19.1%; urban men - 29.5%; and rural men - 19.1%.
